What else can I help you with?
What are the different functions of the pancreas and how is the pancreas directly related to digestion?
pancreas makes enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon for the body. It secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase which digests starch. It also produces lipase (which breaks down fats) and trypsin (which is a protein processor).
How does the pancreas help the digestion system?
The pancreas produces certain enzymes and hormones, including insulin, that break down food. The pancreas releases these fluids directly into the blood and the ducts of the body.
What other organs outside the digestive tube contributes to digestion?
The pancreas, liver and the appendix however is not beneficial to the digestive system directly.
Where is the pancreatic juice stored and where?
Pancreatic juice is produced by the pancreas and is not stored within the pancreas itself. Instead, it is secreted directly into the small intestine, specifically the duodenum, where it aids in digestion. The pancreas releases this juice through the pancreatic duct, which connects to the duodenum.
Is pancreas a endocrine gland?
The pancreas secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream; therefore, it is an endocrine gland. At the same time, the pancreas also passes fluid containing enzymes to the small intestine to assist in digestion. Because of this, the pancreas is also an exocrine gland.

What organs never touch your food still aid in digestion?
The pancreas and liver help in digestion without directly touching food. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The liver produces bile that is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats.
What are the four accessory organs of digestion?
salivary gland, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
What is the effect of alkali in pancreatin digestion?
it can burst the pancreas
Enzyme secreted by acinar cells of pancreas?
Acinar cells of the pancreas secrete digestive enzymes that play a crucial role in the digestion of food. These enzymes include amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for fat digestion), and proteases such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen (for protein digestion). They are released in an inactive form to prevent self-digestion of the pancreas and are activated in the small intestine. This coordinated release allows for efficient digestion of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract.
